Jump into a fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die in the process.Michael Wade''''s only goal in life was to get rich or die trying - and that''''s gotten a lot more literal recently.Stuck in retail hell with debt, rent and crippling guilt, his days were spent paycheck to paycheck between broke and completely screwed.Until a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets.Just one problem: It''''s no place for tourists. Shaped from calamity after calamity, this parallel world has transformed into the ultimate deathtrap. If the people there don''''t kill Wade, the land itself sure will.But with a reality-bending video game System to exploit, past gaming years as a min/maxing fanatic, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice - he might just stand a chance.And he''''s gonna need it. His starting location may as well be outright hell itself. ------------ What to expect ------------> A focus on discovering and experimentation with different fun builds each dive, instead of one optimal forever-build.> Stats that matter, rational characters, rules-as-written exploits> Detailed loops, slow-burn character-driven progression fantasy.> Tax evasion.Written by the author of 12 Miles Below.Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9:00AM PST!Give it a shot :]
